In addition to providing a host of legislative, communications, and training services to Kentucky’s electric cooperatives, Kentucky Electric Cooperatives is affiliated with several organizations that serve Kentucky’s electric co-ops.
Chris Perry
CEO & President
Thank you to Congressman Brett Guthrie, Chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, for his leadership on energy issues and for taking the time to listen directly to Kentucky’s electric cooperatives.
We appreciate Congressman Guthrie hosting a listening session on Friday in ...Munfordville to better understand the real-world challenges co-ops face with FEMA reimbursement after disasters. These conversations matter, and his willingness to engage directly with cooperative leadership shows a strong commitment to rural communities and reliable electric service.
Electric cooperatives support commonsense FEMA reforms—like those in the FEMA Act of 2025—so recovery efforts can move faster, infrastructure can be rebuilt more efficiently, and communities can be better prepared for future disasters. We’re grateful for leaders who take the time to understand these issues and work toward solutions. https://voicesforcooperativepower.com/femareform/
Kentucky’s electric cooperatives are stepping up for their communities as energy costs, grid changes and big new power demands (like data centers) reshape the landscape.
